摘要
The design of hydrophilic polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes with anti-fouling properties has been explored for decades. Surface modification and blending are typical strategies to tailor the hydrophilicity of PVDF membranes. Herein, cyclodextrin was used to improve the antifouling performance of PVDF membranes. Cyclodextrin-modified PVDF membranes were prepared by coupling PVDF amination (blending with branched polyethyleneimine) and activated cyclodextrin grafting. The blending of PEI in the PVDF casting solution preliminarily aminated the PVDF, resulting in PEI-crosslinked/grafted PVDF membranes after phase inversion. Aldehydes groups on cyclodextrin, introduced by oxidation, endow cyclodextrin to be grafted on the aminated PVDF membrane by the formation of imines. Borch reduction performed on the activated cyclodextrin-grafted PVDF membrane converted the imine bonds to secondary amines, ensuring the membrane stability. The resulting membranes possess excellent antifouling performance, with a lower protein adsorption capacity (5.7 μg/cm2, indicated by Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA)), and a higher water flux recovery rate (FRR = 96%). The proposed method provides a facial strategy to prepare anti-fouling PVDF membranes. © 2024 Elsevier Ltd
